Pacifica Languages Translation Scholarship

To be first awarded for the 2016 academic year, A2ZTranslate has teamed up with Auckland University of Technology to award a scholarship in the Graduate Diploma in Translation or Interpreting studies for any Pacifica language. A2ZTranslate has long noted the lack of trained and qualified translators in Pacifica languages and is hoping to encourage suitable students to consider a career in the field, or as a supporting qualification for careers in fields as diverse as the Diplomatic Corp, Health, Justice or Social Welfare. The scholarship will cover approximately 50% of fees, and is to be managed by the AUT Scholarships Office.
